Breast Health and Research Center

Imagine a place where you can get your mammogram and know your results the same day — where follow-up tests are scheduled right away, and results are typically received within 24 hours.

HonorHealth's Breast Health and Research Center gives you all of this in a caring, comfortable setting — along with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and interventional technologies. From routine mammograms to advanced interventional procedures, you'll encounter breast health care that's equally comprehensive, comfortable and cutting edge.

Less Time Waiting, Worrying

We'll not only get you in for your mammogram quickly, but we'll also perform your biopsy — and help you see your surgeon, if necessary — as quickly as possible.

For mammography, you'll be seen within one week of calling for an appointment. If you're already experiencing a problem, we'll offer mammography within 72 hours.

You'll receive your diagnostic exam results at your appointment, and if a biopsy is needed, we'll perform the biopsy within 24 to 48 hours of scheduling the appointment. Test results are typically back in 24 hours. If surgery is required, our patients will see a breast surgeon within five working days.

The Right Technology, The Right Person

Our philosophy is simple: We believe that having the right equipment is not as important as the person who's using it.

A breast center can have the best equipment and perform 5,000 mammograms per month. Yet, when it comes to reading the mammograms, that center may have 20 different general radiologists on staff, and digital mammography is just part of what those radiologists do.

Our center offers a level of specialization that, in our opinion, is not matched in Phoenix. We have two dedicated breast specialists on staff. They focus completely on breast imaging, and they perform thousands of imaging procedures per year. They know what to look for — and they're experts at ruling out areas that are not cancer as well.

If additional care is needed, our patient care coordinator will guide you through the entire process. The patient care coordinator will help you navigate your care by compiling medical records on your behalf, helping with physician appointments and communicating with referring physicians to coordinate the next steps in your treatment plan.

Comprehensive Care

At the Breast Health and Research Center, you'll find a full spectrum of breast-imaging capabilities — screening and diagnostic mammograms; breast ultrasound; ultrasound- or stereotactic-guided biopsies; and breast MRI — all in one location on the Deer Valley Medical Center campus.

By housing these services in one location, we help our patients in two ways. First, our patients do not need to visit different doctors. Some breast centers in Phoenix only provide mammography. If a patient requires a biopsy, she needs to visit another location. That's not the case at the Breast Health and Research Center.

In addition, our doctors use the same set of diagnostic tools from one procedure to the next. They therefore have a profound understanding of how these tools correspond with each other. For example, our specialists can see how ultrasound results correlate with a mammogram. This "big picture" ability helps tremendously when diagnosing rare forms of cancer.
